Dobbie Wins Goal Of The Month

Stephen Dobbie’s precise finish against Leicester has been voted by Palace Player subscribers as the Goal of the Month for April.

The Scotsman’s goal in the 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park polled the highest number of votes from Eagles’ fans.

Dobbie’s strike narrowly edged out another goal of his the following week, as he opened the scoring with a cool finish in the 1-1 draw at Blackburn.

The 30-year-old said of his winning goal: “Glenn Murray ran across the box and controlled it on his shin as usual! It just broke to me and I tried to use the defender as a shield from the goalkeeper and it managed to go in the corner.

“We needed to pick ourselves up from the run we were in and obviously I got the goal then and a goal against Blackburn to help get us a good two points over the two games, which obviously helped cement out place in the play-offs.”
